Three aging pumper trucks at the Eastchester Fire Department will be replace early next year. The new trucks will cost about $600,000 each. The old pumper trucks are constantly being replaced, and one of them dates back to 1999.
When the new equipment is put into service, one of the old ones will be turned into a spare truck, with the rest sold at auction.
The Lake Geneva Fire Department has purchased a new ambulance with so many features it is almost like a fire truck without the water pump. The department received a custom-built ambulance Sept. 6 and put it into service the next day as one of the fire department's go-to pieces of equipment.
